It was a sunny day at camp Wawanakwa and Bridgette couldn't ask for anything else. She decided it was a good day to go hit some waves and since Chris gave the campers the day off she decided to take full advantage of it.
Before she could hit the waves, she had to have the most important meal of the day, wouldn't want to surf on an empty stomach.
She was currently in the mess hall chatting with Courtney and Gwen and they were talking about boys of course.
"Then, he has the nerve to just kiss me! I mean really, did I even give him permission to do that? I think not!" Courtney said huffing after she said that as she crossed her arms.
She was complaining how Duncan kissed her the other night which was of course Valentines day and well, they haven't made it official yet but, everyone in their right minds could see they were crazy for each other.
"You're upset because you got a kiss?" Gwen asked raising her brow at the C.I.T.
"Yes."
"Ummm..why? If I got a kiss on Valentines Day, I'd be jumping off the walls right now." Bridgette said giving Gwen a high five you totally agreed with her.
"Well, it's just that…oh, I don't know! I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and I just..ughh!" Courtney slammed her head on the table with a groan.
"Sweetie, you're in love. Just face the facts; you and Duncan are crazy for each other." Gwen said patting Courtney's head who in response gave another groan as Gwen and Bridgette laughed.
"So, let me guess who you wanted that Valentine's kiss from." Gwen said giving Bridgette a smirk.
"Whatever, you'll never be able to guess." She said with a smirk of her own.
"Harold."
Bridgette had wide eyes and her jaw was literally almost to the floor after Gwen said that.
"How did you know?" The surfer girl asked
"I see the way you look at him, you're in love too."
"No way, I just like him..a lot, that's all." She said crossing her arms.
"You're in denial, I know it and you know it Bridge, you're totally in love with him. It's alright it's like Courtney being in love with Duncan and me being in love with Trent; it's all natural." The Goth girl said patting Bridgette's shoulder as she sighed and shook her head.
"You're right Gwen but, how do I get his attention, I've been so scared to talk to him this never happened to me before."
"Well, why don't you teach him a lesson?"
"A lesson? What are you talking about Gwen?"
"You know; a surfing lesson." She said with a wink.
"Ohhh! I get it now, I gotcha now Gwen, good thinking."
"Well, of course I mean it came from my naturally intelligent mind." Gwen said with a cocky smirk.
"Oh shut it." Bridgette said with a laugh.
"What are you still doing here, go get you're man!" Courtney piped up lifting her head from the table and giving Bridgette a big smile.
"Alrighty! Mission start!" Gwen yelled putting her fist up in the air. Courtney and Bridgette laughed as Gwen blushed and put her fist back down.
"Okay, well I'll see you guys later." Bridgette said as she got up from the table and headed back to her cabin to grab her board.
Time skip: 30 minutes
Bridgette was now at the boys cabin door and was hesitating a lot about knocking on it. What was going through her mind right now was a whole bunch of hoopla.
"Okay, I can do this; I'm a strong women, I can totally do this. Get my man, just like Courtney said." She thought to herself as she started knocking on the wooden door.
A few seconds passed and who else but Harold himself answered the door with a smile on his face.
"Hey there Bridgette, what can I do you for?" He asked, the smile still plastered on his face.
"Well..I was kind of looking for you." She said as she started to rub her arm, a sign meaning that she was nervous.
"Oh really?" He asked with an amused grin.
"Yeah, I was wondering if…you'd like me to teach you some surf lessons?" She asked with a smile of her own which made Harold swoon needless to say.
"Sure!" He said grinning like a goof which made Bridgette giggle.
"Great, let's get going."
"Yes, let's." He said bowing to her like a knight. This made her giggle more.
As they made their way to the beach they both were catching glances at each other along the way. Neither of them catching the other. Looks like love was in the air for these two lovebirds.
Time skip: 1 hour
"Alright! You got it, you got it!" Bridgette yelled at Harold as he was wobbling back and forth on the board trying to keep his balance as the waves carried him through the water.
"I'm actually doing it, yes!" He yelled as he pumped his fist into the air which caused him to lose his balance and land in the water. His head popped out of the water a few seconds later with his hair in front of his face as he spit out a mouth full of salt water.
"You okay Harold?" Bridgette asked with concern in her voice as she made her way over to him on her board.
"Gosh..Yeah, I'm fine Bridge, thanks." He said as he got the last of the water out of his mouth and got back onto his board.
"Maybe we should take a break for a few." Bridgette said as she started to make her way back to the shore. She wanted to get away soon because of how red her face was. She was getting ready to talk to Harold alone; just him and her and, she was nervous beyond belief.
Harold was actually the same way; he's had a major crush on the surfer for a while actually. He says it was love at first sight but, hasn't gotten the courage to actually talk to her alone. The reason he talked to her at the door is because the guy's were overhearing their conversation and well, he didn't want to be a sissy in front of them since they already mess around with him to much already.
Now though, he was sweating bullets and trying to go over what he was going to say in his head hoping he wouldn't screw it up.
As they sat down on the beach they looked up at the sky and noticed the setting sky. They were amazed how much time went by since they got there. They didn't even notice the darkening sky above them. They were to into each other to notice.
"Wow, it's beautiful." Bridgette said smiling up at the sky.
"Yeah." Harold said but, he wasn't looking at the sky. He was looking at Bridgette, he felt a smile pull at his lips as he studied her. Her beautiful smile was one of perfection and her eyes shone when they were in any light making them shine like bright stars. Yeah, he knew it was cheesy but, that's what he thought of her; perfect.
As the sky got darker and darker, they kept talking about everything and anything. The shyness that they both felt at first melted away and they were being open with each other.
"Bridge?"
"Yeah?"
"I-i have something for you."
"Really?"
"Uhh..yeah, it's in my bag hold on."
As Harold searched through his bag for his present for Bridgette, she was getting nervous. She was wondering what in the world he got in there. Maybe it was money or something for teaching him how to surf or maybe you know some sort of other form of payment.
"Ah-ha!"
When Harold returned Bridgette noticed his hands were behind his back which made her raise her brow at him. She got up and walked towards the light that Harold was under so she could get a better look.
"I wanted to give this to you yesterday but, I was way too nervous."
Bridgette was speechless. Yesterday was Valentines Day and Harold wanted to give something to her? Her head was reeling now.
"W-what is it?"
"Just a little something I'd thought you'd like." He said with a small smile and revealed the item behind his back to be a box or chocolates and a note taped to it.
"Ahh, Harold, how thoughtful." Bridgette said taking the box of sweets and note gently.
As Bridgette started to read the note her smile grew bigger and bigger and small tears started to roll down her eyes as her bright smile still spread on her lips. Harold was smiling too as he saw her expression.
"So, does that mean yes?" He asked gently taking her hands.
"Yes!" She said lifting her head up and giving him a soft, sweet kiss.
AS the two continued to kiss under the now black sky, the note that was taped to the box of sweets slowly fell out of Bridgette's grasp and landed on the soft sand covered ground.
Dear Bridgette,
I've wanted to tell you this for a while now but, my fears got in the way but not this time. I wanted to tell you that I love you and I've always loved you since the first time we all came to this island. Yeah, cheesy I know but, that's how I look at it; love at first sight. You're perfect, your eyes that sparkle when you're happy and you're laugh when you see something funny. I love them all. I just wanted to know if you wanted to be my girlfriend. I know you'll say no but, what's a guy got to lose? I just wanted to let you know Bridge, I love you with all my heart and more.
Love, Harold
As the two newly found couple continued their make-out session somewhere up in the bushes near the beach were two nosy girls looking at the two.
"Yes, I knew she could do it!" Courtney said as she fisted the air.
"Wow, who knew Harold was the romantic type." Gwen said as she looked at the two.
"Well, on this island anything's a surprise." A voice said from behind the two girls. They both screamed at the quickly turned around only to find Duncan and Trent smirking down at them.
"What do you want ogre!" Courtney said standing up from the bush and poking him in the chest.
"Calm down princess, I just wanted to see if you were alright." He said pushing her finger away and smirking at her.
"Isn't that right Trent?" He asked looking over at the musician.
"Yeah and I came to check on you Gwen." Trent said holding his hand out for Gwen which she gladly took as he helped her up.
"Okay, I can see Trent coming to check on Gwen but, not you Duncan." Courtney said as her eyes narrowed at the bad boy.
"Ah come on princess, your knight in shining armor came to rescue you and you reject him well, I know only one way to handle that." He said with a grin.
"Oh no, I swear you do that ag-ahhh!" Courtney screamed as Duncan picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"I'll se ya Trent." Duncan called back to his friend as he started down the pathway.
"Se ya man."
"Gwen, help me!" Courtney yelled pounding Duncan's back but, Gwen was too busy laughing at her to even notice.
"Quiet down princess, you'll wake the whole camp." Duncan said slapping her butt.
"Ughh! You pig."
"Love you too."
As Duncan continued to go down the path with Courtney, Gwen and Trent already left leaving the two love birds alone again.
"So, do you think they'll ever get along?" Bridgette asked as Harold shook his head and laughed.
"When pigs fly; maybe." He said as she giggled and buried her head in his chest.
"I love you." She said looking up at him with her smile.
"I love you too." He said as he gave her a soft kiss.
Two shy teens found encouragement in themselves and each other now; they have a lifetime full of love for one another. All they needed was just a little push.
